TheHobbyist , to technology in Apple will honor California's 'right to repair' rules nationwide

What does this mean regarding their components pairing? Will they still force indepent repair shops to go through apple to validate a repair by requesting a new pairing for the replaced part? Will it be free? Will it depend on whether the part is a genuine apple part? A salvaged one? A third party part?

you now have the right to repair with only their parts, which is progress, albeit minimal and expensive

Thumbnail looks like a purple Dodge Challenger is about to drive through the window.

Apple storefront: planned obsolescence

Dodge Challenger: CA’s right to repair law

lemann ,

IMO Apple must have found a way to literally Dodge this Challenger if they’re supporting it. Wonder what concoction their legal team has drafted up?..

ironsoap ,

Based on this, it looks like an attempt to negotiate with the consumers “directly” and make it look like they are being active.

MonkderZweite ,

Wouldn’t it be cheaper long-term to just not be assholes for once?

HawlSera ,

Basically you have the right to repair, but the only tools that will work are those you buy from apple and call-in to make sure you didn’t buy them second hand.

cheese_greater ,

Good eye!

I’m glad for the EU, California, and other places that are big enough to force this sort of stuff nationally or globally.

I am out of the loop on this one. I am probably wrong, but…Wasn’t the bill nullified by the fact apple has the sole right to supply the replacement parts? Or does the bill work as intended where replacement parts can be sourced elsewhere as well as documentation being made available?

essteeyou ,

I have no idea, but I’m grateful for a step in the right direction. It feels like there haven’t been many of those in recent times.

My point was that it may have been made useless. I seem to remember Louis Rossman complaining about it, but I have no idea over which issue. There is no point in having a right to repair act if it can still be abused in some way shape or form by large manufacturers.

I think the problem with this one was that manufacturers can hold all the cards on the cost of buying replacement parts. This would open up the issue of people being gouged. I was hoping that someone could give me more accurate information on the issue.

Every so often the phrase “where California goes the nation follows” comes true. I had a feeling about this one, but not so soon nor decisively.

“no way to opt out”

laughs in no account

Damn this is huge.

Blackmist , to technology in Meta is promoting Threads posts on Facebook and there’s no way to opt out

Does that matter? Facebook, Insta and Threads are all owned by the same company.

Why shouldn’t they merge them all together? Gmail sends appointments, flights, etc to Google Calendar. Should I be outraged by that too?

If you’re still oversharing on Facebook at this point, you know what you’re getting into. Even those that post that nonsense “I do NOT give Facebook permission” spam that highlights everyone vulnerable to other scams.

No need to opt out if you never opted in.

JiveTurkey , to technology in Meta is promoting Threads posts on Facebook and there’s no way to opt out

Be the change most of us want to see and the world needs. Stop using their products and making excuses for why you need them.

fat_stig , to technology in Meta is promoting Threads posts on Facebook and there’s no way to opt out

I use Pi-Hole + uBlock origin, there is nothing FB can do to make me read this shit.

I keep an account there to catch up with relatives in other countries, nothing else gets on my feed.

Wow, what a surprise to no one.

s1ndr0m3 , to technology in Meta is promoting Threads posts on Facebook and there’s no way to opt out

there’s no way to opt out

Yes there is a way to opt out. Just opt out of Facebook and Meta products all together.

PeWu ,

If not everyone using messenger, I would. I’m not using Facebook tho, but it doesn’t help much

JiveTurkey ,

Everyone has an excuse but you’ve gotta start somewhere. There are probably hundreds of ways to message people and we would all survive if Meta and it’s products vanished.

banneryear1868 ,

I use Facebook Messenger but not Facebook or Treads, just set up bare minimum profile and highest privacy settings.

echodot ,

I don’t know anyone who uses messenger WhatsApp sure but messenger? Really?

That is Muricans’ way of life.

Blackmist ,

Any company run by Mumsnet huns seems to use it by default…

dai ,

Depends on where you live, Australia I believe use Messenger more than other applications.

WhatsApp didn’t catch on here outside of the big cities.

coffeeaddict ,

Just use the Messenger app or messenger.facebook.com then, you won’t see Threads promotions nor be exposed to other Facebook stuff

dai ,

I believe you can disable your Facebook account but still use Messenger, couple of my friends don’t have a profile but can still message.

netchami , to technology in Meta is promoting Threads posts on Facebook and there’s no way to opt out

Is that because no one is using Threads?

yamanii ,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

Threads was already dead when porn was banned, that’s why it’s so hard for people to move from twitter.

netchami ,

I don’t understand why people use Twitter or Reddit for porn. There are dedicated sites for that stuff.

mercury ,

Twitter used to be a good place for artists in general, not too sure about now. Never really understood reddit tho.

rchive ,

I think people use things like Reddit for anything because Reddit has a built in system of human curation. It’s not just SEO engineered garbage fake websites like basically every search engine will yield now, or sites’ internal searches pushing you to their top players instead of what you’re actually searching for.

Threads still exists? People still use Threads?

Same could be said about Facebook

Yes, but most people have actually heard of Facebook.
